Ban Appeal and Apologies - .Black_scythe850 - 02-04-2025
I sincerely apologise for breaking the rules repeatedly and not focusing on them before regarding what i did before, i understand that i did the wrong thing not once but twice; i am truly ashamed of myself and hereby hope for your forgiveness for my wrong deeds. I admit it was a horrible act to try and cheat on the appeal and am guilty for that. Please give me one more chance; i know it is shameless of me to ask for your consideration once again even after failing your expectations once. Once again i am deeply sorry for my misdeeds, let me show my apologies one more time.
Why is using AI tools to write ban appeals for me against the rules?
AI written letter is against the rules of ban appeals since the appeal itself is form of reflection of the player's personal emotions and apologies, which using AI won't be shown properly and most of all; it is hard for the staff to determine the person's true intentions.
Why i should be unbanned after cheating two times?
I understand that i have done terrible stuff and lost your trust and i also know that regaining trust is hard.I made mistakes, and I take full responsibility for them.I genuinely regret my actions and want to make things right. If you give another chance, I will follow the rules and prove that I’ve learned from this. If not, I understand and appreciate you taking the time to read this.

why should i be unbanned?
i am writing to sincerely apologize for my actions and the mistakes I made on the server, as well as for the improper approach I took when submitting my first appeal. first, I deeply regret using xray on the server. I understand how unfair and disrespectful it was to other players, and I am truly sorry for my actions. I take full responsibility for my behavior. secondly, I want to apologize for my second mistake when I submitted my first appeal. in my attempt to explain myself, i used AI to help write my appeal, which I now understand was against the server's rules. i admit it was a serious oversight on my part, and I am aware that it violated the appeal process. i should have had expressed my sincerity directly. I have reflected deeply on my actions and learned from the mistakes I made. i have demonstrated my lack of understanding and am shameful for that. i genuinely regret my behavior, and i am committed to playing fairly and responsibly moving forward.
why i want to come back?
i want to come back because i truly enjoy the server and the community it offers. i've learned a lot from my time here, that i wont need to face any short of trouble or harassment or care about imbalance between players for cheating since the staff community is so active and strict regarding rules. i’ve gained a better appreciation for the server’s values. If you give me one more chance, i will follow all the rules, play fairly, and make sure to respect the fairplay of others. I won’t cheat, and I’ll avoid anything that would go against the rules of the server. I’ll also help out other players whenever I can and contribute positively to the community and moving forward, i am dedicated to being a respectful and honorable player.
what is zero tolerance policy and why's there zero tolerance policy against xray and similar cheats?
A zero tolerance policy means no rule-breaking is allowed at any circumstance, no matter what. If someone breaks such the rule, they are punished instantly. sometimes they even get permanently banned.
The zero tolerance policy for xray exists to maintain fairness in the game. xray gives players an unfair advantage by letting them see ores and resources through blocks. it takes away the effort and hardwork of those who play fair and give illegal advantage to others. it takes away the overall fun and enjoyment of the game from both the victims and the criminals.
The zero tolerance policy for cheats like xray, such as aimbots and autoclicker etc; often gives other unfair advantages, These cheats let players bypass the normal gameplay mechanics and let them have many wrong advantages and eventually makes the game less fun and challenging.
How does xray impact other players?
xray gives players an unfair advantage by allowing them to see ores through blocks, giving them access to hard earned resources with less efforts. while it is advantageous to some corrupt players, It can also make other players angry as well as upset, sometimes it can lead to server issues such as breaking trust within the community; since it ruins the efforts of those who work hard and play honestly. the worst-case scenario would be them feeling unfairly treated by the community and leaving it because of other wrong players who uses cheats.
Why is using AI tools to write ban appeals against the rules?
using AI tools to write ban appeals is against the rules because it can be seen as dishonest or as trying to manipulate the appeal process. Ban appeals are meant to reflect the player's genuine thoughts, feelings, and understanding of why they were banned and reflecting on their previous acts, which using AI is not shown correctly. most of all, the staff's are often unable to understand the true intentions those who apply for the appeal since what they said are not their own words; which leads the staff's being unable to decide whether they should give them another chance or punish them.
